Clive Parkinson, the Director of Arts for Health at the Manchester Metropolitan University (UK) speaks about how relevant the arts are when given a diagnosis of cancer or dementia. In his talk he discusses the Maggie's cancer centres. I will post some information about it in my next post.

Thanks for commenting. Yes it seemed like a great conference (regretfully, I wasn't there but you can watch all the talks on their website). They have a conference every year. This year it will be around November 2012 in Fremantle. Pop in if you are in the neighbourhood. I surely try my best to get there.
